Welcome John,

I'm not in Ohio, but I know that you've come to the right place.

Good luck - you'll find everything you need here - you can enter a keyword search for your profile, ie, Columbus, financing, etc. that will help too.

All best, Penny

Great list Bryan! I would add - help the seller get the home ready for sale, decluttering, staging...making it easy for buyers to imagine themselves there. This can be quite a process, depending on the sellers ; )

Hi Manuel,

I'm also an agent and I agree with Matthew - if you feel like you're being well taken care of by your agent. When I'm working with clients, I take the time to ask enough questions up front that help me understand what's really important to my clients. That's what gives me the clarity to help them get what they want...and be their real estate consultant for life. Have someone who can represent, negotiate and take care of your interests!

All best, Penny

Thanks @Tom Goans and @Will Barnard. As a new member to BP, I have to say I'm blown away by the generosity of this community. It's a great big breath of fresh air. And, I'm so excited about the learning path ahead!

Hi @Derek L.

I agree with @William Robison and my personal policy is always....disclose, disclose, disclose ; )

Good luck! Penny

What's your favourite book on the art of negotiation @Tom Goans ?

Hi Louise,

Good for you for getting letters out : ) I'm curious about a couple of things - do you have potential buyers for this properties in this price range? And, do you know what the assessment on this property is?

Hi Beth,

Good question. For me, references are gold. If I were you, I would get happy clients on video and put them on your website. Have your clients speak specifically to great customer service, on time and on budget. If there are any public sites in your are, ie, Homestars, Yelp etc, invite your clients to leave reviews there. Word of mouth is gold. As a real estate investor, having someone who cares about my business and their reputation, is gold.

Good luck!
